Best WoW Forever Consumables

A full raid stack for each role, using only consumables you can get today. Potions last seconds, so they stay out of the totals; each role note says which one to carry. To add class buffs and world buffs on top, use the buff stack calculator.

Heading into battlegrounds instead? The PvP buffs guide covers the potions that win fights there. For class buffs by value, see raid buffs.

While you level, cheap consumables matter more than a full raid stack. These four are worth the bag space.

• 

  Nutritious food

  Cooked Nutritious food gives Well Fed stats plus Well Fed (Nutritious food). The XP buffs guide shows the full leveling stack.

• 

  Stones and oils

  Dense Sharpening Stone or Dense Weightstone adds +8 weapon damage from level 35, and Wizard Oil gives casters +24 spell damage and healing from level 40.

• 

  Swiftness Potion

  Swiftness Potion gives +50% run speed for 15 seconds from level 5, enough to escape a bad pull.

• 

  Lesser Arcane Elixir

  Lesser Arcane Elixir is a cheap Merchant's Favor recipe that gives casters +15 spell damage from level 25.

Each row says how many of a consumable you can have at once, what it stacks with and how sure that rule is. Class buffs, camp buffs and world buffs are in the full stacking table.

For a full consumable stack in WoW Forever, run one flask, one elixir for each stat you want, one Well Fed food and an oil or stone on each weapon (the original game's rule), then use a potion and a healthstone or rune during the fight. Flasks and elixirs work together, so you never have to pick one over the other.

How WoW Forever consumables stack

Buff type	At once	Stacks with	Does not stack with	Confirmed
Flasks A flask lasts 2 hours and stays on through death, so it is the safest buff to bring to a raid.	At once 1	Stacks with Elixirs, food and a weapon oil or stone	Does not stack with Any other flask	Confirmed Confirmed
Elixirs For two elixirs that raise the same stat, see the next row.	At once Several, with no Battle or Guardian slots	Stacks with Your flask, your food and each other	Does not stack with	Confirmed Confirmed
Two elixirs for one stat In the original game only the stronger one counted. New elixirs such as Elixir of the Grizzly and Elixir of Cunning follow the same advice: one per stat.	At once 1 per stat	Stacks with Elixirs for other stats, such as Greater Arcane Elixir with Elixir of Shadow Power	Does not stack with A second elixir for the same stat, such as Elixir of the Mongoose with Elixir of Greater Agility	Confirmed Original rule Not confirmed for WoW Forever
Firewater	At once 1	Stacks with	Does not stack with Winterfall Firewater and Distilled Firewater are the same buff: drinking the other only refreshes it	Confirmed Confirmed
Jujus How to get Jujus in WoW Forever is not confirmed.	At once	Stacks with	Does not stack with An elixir for the same stat, such as Juju Power with Elixir of Greater Strength or Juju Might with Winterfall Firewater	Confirmed Original rule Not confirmed for WoW Forever
Blasted Lands buffs All five share one 1-hour cooldown. Whether two can be active together is not known. Their availability in WoW Forever is not confirmed.	At once Not known	Stacks with	Does not stack with	Confirmed Not known
Food Pick the dish for your main stat in the food buff guide.	At once 1 Well Fed buff	Stacks with Your flask and elixirs	Does not stack with A second Well Fed food: it replaces the first	Confirmed Confirmed
Weapon oils and stones Each lasts 30 minutes.	At once 1 per weapon	Stacks with A second one on your off hand	Does not stack with	Confirmed Original rule Not confirmed for WoW Forever
Potions Protection potions such as Greater Fire Protection Potion last 2 minutes, the same as the cooldown, so only one protection buff is up at a time.	At once 1 every 2 minutes	Stacks with A healthstone or rune right after	Does not stack with Any other combat potion, including Major Frenzy Potion, Major Spellblasting Potion and Major Mender's Potion: they share one 2-minute cooldown	Confirmed Confirmed
Healthstones, runes and Battle Standards	At once 1 every 2 minutes	Stacks with A potion	Does not stack with Each other: Major Healthstone, Demonic Rune, Dark Rune and the Battle Standards share their own 2-minute cooldown	Confirmed Confirmed

Flasks are the core of a raid stack. Each lasts 2 hours, stays on through death and replaces any other flask, and you need level 50 or higher to drink one.

Where the Natural flask recipes come from is not confirmed, so do not plan around them. They give +30 Stamina anywhere and 2% only in Mount Hyjal, Hyjal Summit and the Barrow Deeps. Lists that show 60 Stamina and up to 5% are out of date.

Flask of Supreme Power	Effect +150 spell damage	Use level Level 50	Best for Casters

Flask of Natural Swiftness	Effect +30 Stamina and +2% attack and casting speed in Mount Hyjal, Hyjal Summit and the Barrow Deeps	Use level Level 55	Best for MeleeHuntersCastersHealers

The four Natural flasks are new in WoW Forever. Their +30 Stamina works everywhere, but the 2% bonus only counts in Mount Hyjal, Hyjal Summit and the Barrow Deeps. Anywhere else, Flask of the Titans or Flask of Supreme Power is the stronger flask.

Drink one elixir for each stat you want, beside your flask. Several new WoW Forever elixirs pair +25 of a main stat with +2% critical strike chance. Filter by role to see the ones for your class.

Jujus, Winterfall Firewater and Blasted Lands buffs such as R.O.I.D.S. still exist in WoW Forever with their original values. How to get them is not confirmed, so do not plan around them. If the original rules apply, get Jujus by trading E'ko with Witch Doctor Mau'ari in Everlook. Under those rules, Bloodmage Drazial and Bloodmage Lynnore in the Blasted Lands trade buffs for monster parts. Distilled Firewater is a new Alchemy craft with the same +35 attack power as Winterfall Firewater.

• Elixir of Greater Strength is the old Elixir of Giants under a new name.
• Elixir of Greater Defense is the old Elixir of Superior Defense, renamed.
• Elixir of Holy Power used to be Elixir of Greater Firepower and now raises Holy spell damage instead of Fire.
• Elixir of the Mongoose now lasts 30 minutes.
• Many elixirs are brand new, including Elixir of the Grizzly, Elixir of the Owl, Elixir of the Phalanx, Greater Cleric's Elixir and Greater Mageblood Elixir.

All potions share one 2-minute cooldown, so drink the one that matters most for the fight. Healthstones and Demonic or Dark Runes run on their own 2-minute timer. Merchant's Favor alchemy recipes are listed further down this page.

Healing potions moved: plain healing potions are now made with First Aid instead of Alchemy. Alchemy makes the new Discolored Healing Potions, which heal at once and then take part of that health back over time. See the First Aid guide.

• 

  New combat potions

  Major Frenzy Potion, Major Spellblasting Potion and Major Mender's Potion last 30 seconds. Line them up with your biggest cooldowns.

• 

  Protection potions

  Greater protection potions absorb 1,950 to 3,250 damage of one school for 2 minutes. Drink the one that matches the boss, such as Greater Fire Protection Potion for fire.

• 

  Iron Stomach

  This Legacy perk shortens the potion cooldown by 18 seconds, but it does nothing in dungeons, raids and battlegrounds.

Each oil or stone lasts 30 minutes. In the original game a weapon held one at a time, which is not confirmed for WoW Forever. Casters and healers use oils, melee use stones: a sharpening stone on sharp weapons and a weightstone on blunt ones.
